Briles first few years? You are absolutely clueless. The 2018 class will be on par with any Briles class and miles ahead of his first few classes. The 247 Avg. rating right now is .8624. If we add most of the prospects currently projected, that avg. will go up. BTW, the highest Avg. rating for Briles was .8548 in 2012. Years 1 and 2 were .8131 and .8287.
One would hope so, given the facilities and resources now present, as well as the brand that did not exist when Briles took over.
once again you have to mention Briles and even credit him for the recruiting class. BRILES IS GONE! you really need to let it go, and clearly have not yet.

Rhule may fail miserably, but the CABers who still cannot move on are like nails on a chalk board. some wont be happy even if Rhule wins games. "but it wasnt back to back big 12 titles" (when we laid embarrassing eggs in bowl games, after beating cream puffs in non-conf, when the league was down....btw)

Briles is gone....it's like the ex that you wont let go

and you really want to talk about the BAYLOR UNIVERSITY brand post-Briles? maybe teenage recruits still just see the cool stuff - but the Baylor brand as a whole...not in a good place if you were not aware

Norm, buddy, reading comprehension is your friend. Please read the post I responded to. It mentions Briles. I therefore mentioned him in my response, and pointed out an obvious fact about the facilities and brand he left. Regardless of what one thinks about him (yes, he's gone and isn't coming back - thanks for that Captain Obvious), it is indisputable that his success propelled us forward, despite some very bad things that happened under his tenure.

I don't know why some of you guys are so sensitive about the very mention of his name. It's as if you've forgotten that some good things happened under his tenure. It wasn't all bad, even if he was rightly fired. You guys treat him as the person who shall not be named. It's as if he's Lord Voldemort.

Relax buddy. Take a breath, It's going to be ok if I mention his name.

I think you guys are so butthurt and eviscerated that you see your tormentors behind every bush.

It's hilarious how you want to peddle that fake narrative proposed to you by a fellow snowflake, then again reality has never been a Caber strongsuit.

Huh?
One of the other posters on this site asked a mod why Milli wasn't banned and that poster was told by said mod that Milli had multiple handles and when he was banned from one, would post on another, hence why his continuous insults and attacks in every post weren't dealt with.

Go ask 3ptSpecialist. He wrote me that when Milli was banned he would sign on as another account and post anyways. Nothing you guys could do about it. If you can tell me how to post a screenshot I will.

Please do, will be fun to see what fan fiction you've mined out of misconstruing someone's words, seems to be a specialty of the Caber.

A fixation with an internet poster that causes them to whine and hijack every thread conceivable.

Not sure what your confusion is, nor how I can explain it clearer. As you well know, there are people who get REALLY worked up when Briles' name is mentioned in a positive light.

That's not my question. Bearster answered and I'll ask Ashley

Briles did not propel Baylor University forward. he did get us a stadium and some nice facilities, which does help future football coaches and the Baylor football program.

but the Baylor University brand is not in good shape, largely due to the Briles/Starr regime.

Briles first few years? You are absolutely clueless. The 2018 class will be on par with any Briles class and miles ahead of his first few classes. The 247 Avg. rating right now is .8624. If we add most of the prospects currently projected, that avg. will go up. BTW, the highest Avg. rating for Briles was .8548 in 2012. Years 1 and 2 were .8131 and .8287.
One would hope so, given the facilities and resources now present, as well as the brand that did not exist when Briles took over.
once again you have to mention Briles and even credit him for the recruiting class. BRILES IS GONE! you really need to let it go, and clearly have not yet.

Rhule may fail miserably, but the CABers who still cannot move on are like nails on a chalk board. some wont be happy even if Rhule wins games. "but it wasnt back to back big 12 titles" (when we laid embarrassing eggs in bowl games, after beating cream puffs in non-conf, when the league was down....btw)

Briles is gone....it's like the ex that you wont let go

[insert frozen gif]

and you really want to talk about the BAYLOR UNIVERSITY brand post-Briles? maybe teenage recruits still just see the cool stuff - but the Baylor brand as a whole...not in a good place if you were not aware

Norm, buddy, reading comprehension is your friend. Please read the post I responded to. It mentions Briles. I therefore mentioned him in my response, and pointed out an obvious fact about the facilities and brand he left. Regardless of what one thinks about him (yes, he's gone and isn't coming back - thanks for that Captain Obvious), it is indisputable that his success propelled us forward, despite some very bad things that happened under his tenure.

I don't know why some of you guys are so sensitive about the very mention of his name. It's as if you've forgotten that some good things happened under his tenure. It wasn't all bad, even if he was rightly fired. You guys treat him as the person who shall not be named. It's as if he's Lord Voldemort.

Relax buddy. Take a breath, It's going to be ok if I mention his name.
I think we've discovered one of Milli's other handles that the mods told us exist.


Huh?
Not sure what your confusion is, nor how I can explain it clearer. As you well know, there are people who get REALLY worked up when Briles' name is mentioned in a positive light.


That's not my question. Bearster answered and I'll ask Ashley

There are any variety of ways to define and measure an institution's brand. I am simply curious about which definitions and measurement methods you are using. If you don't want to discuss it, that's fine. There's no need to get snippy about it.

If you think these offensive recruits who signed with Baylor don't remember fondly the high scoring offensive brand that Briles created, and that did not play a factor in their recruitment, I've given you far too much credit.

Given that we don't run that offense anymore, these recruits would have to be pretty stupid to sign with Baylor for that reason. But given that I've never heard a recruit since Briles left mention that as a reason for committing, I think it's safe to assume that's not the case.

Briles' success here helped change Baylor's perception as a doormat with these guys, I'm sure. And there's some value in that. But when you listen to our recruits talk, they almost universally choose Baylor because of the investment this current staff has made in them as football players and young men, and they believe in Rhule's vision for the program. The Briles era may have helped earned them a seat at the table with some of these guys, but it was Rhule and his staff that brought them to Baylor. And they're the ones who deserve all credit for it.

One of the things Coach Rhule talked about last year was that Baylor's reputation on offense was helpful in recruiting on that side of the ball. Maybe he was recruiting stupid kids, but I doubt it.

If we had been coming off a run of 10-loss seasons instead of 10-win seasons, and if we had a Ray Guy winner instead of a Heisman winner and if we had America's most boring offense instead of America's most exciting offense, we would not have the classes we got. Admitting this is not giving undue credit to the previous staff or minimizing the great job of the current staff.

Bingo. The brand created by Briles was a significant factor in recruiting these kids. I feel like some of our fans are so damn bitter about Briles they refuse to acknowledge even the most obvious of facts. Sure Rhule deserves the lions share of credit, but the idea that he recruited these kids in a vacuum is just stupid.

The potential of a Top 20 football recruiting class for Matt Rhule & Baylor Football is very intriguing. A pair of 4-Star recruits with a QB from Arkansas, and WR from Florida might serve as a catalyst for similar talent ultimately signing to join the green & gold in early February.

I for one am damn impressed that he was able to snag kids all over the map. Get the best players, period and forget trying to get everyone in Texas just to say they all came from Texas.
